What the hate speech apologist overlook

On my Patreon I have written about why the conviction threshold for the proposed laws is of little comfort, as giving mobs a licence to sic the Police on you will have a huge chilling effect.

The issue will not be whether or not you are jailed for quoting the Bible, but the process of going through a Police investigation, Police interviews, hiring a lawyer etc. will have a huge chilling effect.

In the UK people have been convicted or arrested not only for making a statement of religious belief (same activity is sinful) but also an atheist was convicted for a showing the Pope with a condom on his finger!
